This past year at the 2014 Influence Conference, we introduced a new element to the schedule of our weekend and it ended up going better than we could ask or imagine. We introduced message revivals and we broke them down by specific areas where we perceived women really needed some fresh vision and inspiration from the Lord. Our hope was to encourage women in the truth that they share the gospel in lots of different mediums, through lots of different messages. What happened during those revivals is that we saw influential women really taking up the flag of the Kingdom of God in their own lives, in their own callings, feeling revived and renewed in their specific callings.

This year, we’ve decided to continue on with the revivals during the upcoming 2015 Influence Conference, but we’re going to really make room and give these revivals time to shine. You get to the pick the topic that you attend and here’s what we promise – we’ll provide you with a leader and like-minded women who are going to utilize that time and space in the conference to let the Lord move and work. Each revival will be different – you might spend some time in prayer or doing an activity, you might break into smaller groups or have time for Q&A. But we believe that God wants us to really take each of your individual callings and passions seriously and that He wants us to believe Him for revival in each of those areas.

We’ll tell you more about these revivals as the conference draws near and let some of the leaders really speak up and share their stories with you as well! And as far as announcements go, this is the first of many announcements that will be coming as we kick into the 2015 conference season into gear. You’ll be hearing more from our speakers, about worship, partners that we’re excited to work with, and we can’t wait to tell you more.
